Re: Cloud
nine

: : cloud nine relates to being intoxicated from the
use of drugs. it was first used by Bob marley to describe the use of marijuana.

:
Before that, people used the phrase for all kinds of highs, pharmaceutical and
otherwise.

There are several "Cloud 9" songs including one by George Harrison.
I'm most familiar with the one sung by The Temptations. I don't know who wrote
it or when.
CLOUD 9
The Temptations

Childhood part of my life it
wasn't very pretty
You see I was born and raised in the slums of the city
It
was a one-room shack that slept
Ten other children besides me
We hardly
had enough food or room to sleep
It was hard times needed something
To ease
my troubled mind
Listen my father didn't know the meaning of work
He disrespected
momma and treated us like dirt
I left home seeking a job that I never did find
Depressed
and downhearted I took to cloud 9
I'm doing fine up here on cloud 9
Listen
one more time I'm doing fine up here on cloud 9...
